Images reflecting pages in my mind The vastness of the world around within each face I find ~ Beauty so becoming in everything I see God's special light is shining His love and grace on me. No matter what our lifestyle His gracious gift is there Embraced in precious moments for all mankind to share ~ Never once forgetting the joys that come to pass With miracles unfolding and dreams to surely last. We are but one of many within this life to share A world of many faces with sins and griefs to bear ~ But often gone unnoticed is God's own special light That shines upon the humble and those in need tonight. A simple understanding placed upon the heart That we might see the beauty along life's wondrous path ~ A constant gift embracing is one way to measure The blessings all around us which we have come to treasure. Look closely now to see Him see His special glow Shining on the faces of hearts that surely know ~ Feel His love abounding don't let it slip away For in its true perspective we are all but the same. In every light we capture may it become the start Of blessings we deliver from deep within our hearts ~ For everywhere I looked today in each and every place I saw God shine His lasting love and shower me with grace. © Christina 8th March, 2005 "A delightful poem reminding us not to take life for granted.   Everything happens in life for a reason and we are to make the best of it without complaining or grumbling about it....after all, it's these things that help build our character.   This poem puts things into perspective as we see that there are others worse off than us.   Take heart and be thankful."
